In this achingly
romantic tale, handsome young Tariq is about to marry Bilqis, the
eldest daughter of a prominent and powerful judge. But as he wanders
the ancient city of Sana'a late one night, he spots a beautiful
young woman dancing in the street and falls madly in love with her.
Before long, the young groom must choose between following his heart
and protecting his family's honor.

Filmed entirely on location in the ancient city of Sana'a, this is
the first feature ever to come out of Yemen.

The film has its World Premiere at Cannes International Film
Festival and its US Premiere at Seattle Arab & Iranian Film
Festival. The film has won the Arab Film Prize at Cairo Film
Festival and has also participated in Vancouver International Film
Festival, Arabian Sights, Film Fest D.C. and Palm Springs
International Film Festival.
